Music education is more than just introducing students to beats, notes, and songs. Instead, it completely transforms a child's mind and opens up endless possibilities to their learning potential. Music is something that affects the mind, body, and spirit, but yet its importance is often underrated. Especially when it comes to the educational benefits.

With the ability to influence behavior, social skills, sensitivity, and general achievement, music can have positive effects on many aspects of life. In children, music education is important as it promotes the opportunity to fine tune their listening skills and their comprehension. Both skills can be applied to other academic subjects and can help students with problem solving and concentration.
